Respect went: 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

It's about publicity for them. Period.

In other news twitch, tinder, redtube and pornhub also banned for trump including Ted Cruz porn account.

DickFlair3 Was it just banning the subreddit? I feel like all this is gonna do is have the them go to another sub.

Big tech is now big brother. They want total control of all of us. They were just waiting to drop the nukes. They have! You’re next on their list if you dare not submit and obey.
